Hi there -
My situation: Have a laptop which i like to keep only some of my music/video on at any given time. My true library of music lives on my NAS, which I can easily access whenever I'm at home or on a reasonably fast internet connection. What I want is some software that will allow me to essentially toggle between where a given song/album/directory/etc lives, either on the local machine or on the network. If I choose for it to go on the local machine, the software would copy the file(s) to my local machine and update the reference in the XML library file. If I were then to toggle it off of the local machine, it would delete the local copy, and update the reference in the XML file back to the network location. The key thing is that there won't be two versions (local + network) of the same song/video in my library.
An added bonus would be if I could also sync music that I've just purchased on my local machine to the network... though this is relatively easy to do manually, so i'm not terribly concerned about this functionality.
I've tried using a few itunes sync products, but I haven't found one that does what I want. Has anyone heard of a solution? Alternatively, anyone with similar setups and a different solution?
Thanks for any ideas!
